Top Spin, I had the same reaction - I was like "what about SAFINA!?" But then I realized that it had to do with the Majors. HA!

Rafa's been so consistent and so good for so long - he obviously deserves it. BUT I think he has a few issues going against him. 1. Roger's won the past 4 years, so the panel may want to tgive it to another sport. 2. Phelps and Bolt are super popular as well. We'll see! Totally agreed!

I'd still argue in the case of Ivanovic that a breakthrough should mean you carry over some momentum throughout the year though.

But I must be missing something, 'Breakthrough of the year' nominees, Ivanovic and Djokovic!? Are you kidding me? Del Potro maybe or perhaps even Azarenka. See, 1-2 years ago I'd have no problem with those choices. Now? I don't get it. Agree with Hcfoo – Rafa all the way…

Personally I think Rafa has been a real sportsman and hero, trailing Roger consistently as the world no.2 for so many years and then finally ended Roger's monopoly as the world no.1. That is not an overnight success. I hope the people at Laureus knows it's not an easy task :) I think Rafa has a high chance to win this despite the stiff competition.
